The Answer Is Already In You

Why do you hesitate without taking a step?
Why do you give up even you’re not starting yet?
Why do you choose to hate? When love is the first thing you learn?
Why do you stop smiling, when someone needs it?

Why do you stop believing, if someone believes in you?
Why you can’t be you, when your true beauty is within you?
Why do you asked why if the answer is already in you?

Hello, Kababayan! Welcome to the soup! These are real life lessons embedded in your first post and we all should stop to think about and rethink everything we do.

I love the title of your poem but after the first three or four lines you lost me. You should edit and revise this poem and then repost it.

Thanks for this very inspirational write. So many times we don't recognize the power that is inside us to fully evolve as the great human beings we were meant to be. Well done!
